Thirty minutes is a long time to sit down and watch a YouTube video, but
this one may be worth a half-hour of your life. It features, well,
everything. It features literally everything from Calipari’s run at
Kentucky, including shots from the haters and his best moments.

Watch it if you have time. If you don’t have time, save it for later, but
watch it.﻿

+ukcats8fan ,,, I’ve been following you for quite a while man and you’ve
always done excellent work but as of late you have really stepped your game
up. You really capture the spirit of what Kentucky basketball means to the
fans and I appreciate the effort you put in doing so. Keep up the good work
man,,, from a proud follower. BBN baby.﻿

My Huskies winning the Big East and the National Championship in 2011 and
the Huskies winning the 2014 Championship after being banned for a year are
THE greatest stories, but this was still one of the best! ﻿

It’s over this year already. Give K the title now. I’m dead serious.
Everyone’s coming back more experienced, stronger, faster, just plain
better. And the new freshmen are good too. The back up point guard Tyler
Ulis could start anywhere in the country and he’s the backup at UK. It’s
gonna look like 2011 again with Anthony Davis I”m telling you. I can’t wait
they’re gonna be a problem﻿

This run was seriously unlike anything I’ve been a part of as a fan. I
thought the 2011 Final Four run was special, and this obliterated that. The
drama, the stakes, the unlikely heroes, the absolutely classic moments that
just kept coming… never going to forget this one. About as close to pure
joy as I have come as a Kentucky fan.﻿

I love it. Of all the Kentucky teams this may just be my favorite. No, they
didn’t win the title, but still showed off an amazing amount of grit and
determination. I know some will disagree with me, but it will be a tough
argument.﻿

As a UConn fan, I have to say that Kentucky’s run and UConn’s run were both
pretty impressive. And to whoever says that Kentucky lost to Florida 3
times last year, think about this: at the end of the season, Kentucky was
in the National Championship and Florida wasn’t. UConn beat Florida twice,
once on a buzzer beater, and the other in the Final Four by 10, Kentucky
only lost by 6, which was a closer game than Florida’s. Now Kentucky please
do me a favor and get Drake off the bandwagon. Thanks :)﻿

I still get chills. I’ve been a fan since 1987 and I’ve never seen a
tournament run like that. The unexpected joy and elation of close games is
much better than the pressure of trying to not lose when you’re expected to
win (a la 1996 and 2012). I get on here and start to read the comments and
I see this Marshall Baker guy as the top comment on here. Well, I just
can’t have that so I’m gonna get a little cheesy.

I was born in Cincinnati, grew up in Northern Kentucky and later Lexington.
Every state has it’s own charm and I saw some others (left Kentucky for 12
years and lived in 5 other states). But I’ve been back for the last 8 years
and I’ve fallen in love with my home all over again. Everywhere from
Louisville to Northern KY to the plains and farms of Western Kentucky,
Bowling Green and Owensboro. The amazingly haunting beauty of our Red River
Gorge, Pine Mountain, Morehead, Cave Run Lake, Hazard, Pikeville, Ashland.
The mystique of Mammoth Cave, Land Between the Lakes, Danville, Somerset
and Lake Cumberland. Finally, there’s the jewel of all awkwardly large
college towns–that is Lexington. Home to the Wildcats. My home too.

Lexington is thriving right now and while only a portion of the city may
know what I’m alluding to, the one thing that unifies us all is the
University of Kentucky and it’s basketball team. The team that we’re
watching this year is truly something special that, if we do what we’re
capable of, will be remembered forever. We could add something unmatchable
to our already unmatched history.

Our state has stigmas and stereotypes. Many of them are not good. The north
thinks we’re southern, the south thinks we’re northern. The Midwest refuses
to claim us. But you know what? I don’t care. We are unique. We are
uncategorized. We are Kentucky. We are the greatest tradition, in the
history of college basketball. Go Big Blue. Forever.﻿
